From the PM (Radio 4) Newsletter:
I believe they are moving in at the start of December (for some reason I have the 5th in my mind). Anyway, not long for them.

Listen out for a PM first as well - Paddy O'Connell will be in one of our swanky new studios in Central London presenting a shadow programme to test out the equipment. A zombie broadcast? We'll attempt to link to him LIVE while testing his knowledge of the Eurovision song contest now that Portugal has pulled out of next year's competition.

Why? They won't be doing any publicity until they have a fixed move date and want to publicise the new look channel, so releasing a load of photos now would just be seen by their competitors as them blowing their own trumpet in a "look at us, and how much money we've got to spend" manner. Probably not the sort of thing the BBC Press Office would want on their plates right now.

The link ended up being pre-recorded to ensure that it all went smoothly and without technical problems.

According to the schedules they've still got 6 more episodes left of this series. Does anyone know where the remaining episodes will be filmed if they're moving out?
Think the other six will be in the spring. It normally follows a pattern of 10 episodes in the autumn and six in the spring, normally these are billed as separate series but it looks like we've put them in as one series this time, that might change.
Saw a few bits and pieces from World's set in Studio C today. Looks fantastic, think there's going to be a very positive reaction to it.

It's the last Later... with Jools from TVC on Tuesday. And the press office moved out the other day. Becoming a bit of a ghost town.

Why? Why release shots of a set so early - particularly if you end up altering it prior to launch? Any publicity is likely to be much closer to relaunch surely?
Indeed, the relaunched News 24 never looked like this on screen, the photo clearly taken before the newsroom behind was dressed or lit.

Isn't it time we had some official publicity shots from Studio E?
